Windows 7 RTM + 7loader
Slysoft:
I have installed the windows 7 RTM on three Dell computers, and have used a program called 7loader to activate them. The first two computers were about a year old and activated fine, windows genuine and everything. The third Dell, which is ~three years old, had no effect when using 7loader however. I was planning on installing the RTM on my main machine in a few months (Aion release is coming up and I don't want any problems for launch), but seeing as 7loader has failed to activate this computer I am afraid it might fail on my rig and royally screw me over.
TL;DR: Have any of you guys used 7loader and know if a compatibility issue in the old Dell bios may be the reason for it failing to activate the win7 RTM? 7loader uses a SLIC 2.1 bios modification to activate the RTM, so I was thinking that might be the problem.
Drew:
Check your mobo manufacturer and overwrite the Dell firmware with an official release and you should be good to go.
However, it's kind of weird that it didn't work for you. What version of 7loader are you using? I've used version 1.5 plenty of times with no problems (on an old Dell laptop, and a newer Dell desktop as well).
Slysoft:
I'm using version 1.5 release 2
I also thought that it was odd, because it worked on two pcs and not another, but I am hoping it was just because the third pc is very old and has never had a bios update.
